Stigma

This month is World Alzheimer's Month and this year's theme is stigma, an issue that I as a Dementia Champion am all too aware of.

Far too many people who have been diagnosed with dementia still face stigma within their own communities.

Wherever a person encounters it, stigma is a barrier to the them living well and continuing to do and enjoy the things that they love.

There are now 3 million Dementia Friends across England, Wales and Northern Ireland and by joining them and becoming a Dementia Friend you too can help end this stigma once and for all so that people who have been diagnosed with dementia live well with dementia.

Why not join me?
